., Squatting a few girls to go to work is also enthusiastic about the ironclad battleship, and the performance of the armored battleship is indeed not comparable to the wooden battleship, but they are afraid of causing waste, and now that there is the emperor's will, they will let go of their hearts and plan to do it with all their might.

After several directors of the Ministry of Engineering retired, Zhu Jun began to pick up the merit fold again and continue to look, for this Yang Xiong, Zhu Jun is still quite interested, and the naval officers who graduated from the martial arts hall will have an evaluation, including character, ship knowledge, physical fitness, leading the theory of leading troops, military discipline and regulations, and drills and other achievements, and without exception, this Yang Xiong is basically the lowest level of "acceptable"

The so-called acceptable, in fact, is synonymous with barely passing, and it is also one of the worst grades of graduates. And this Yang Xiong, now won the highest medal of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that those instructors who lecture on martial arts will be shocked, and when Zhu Jun saw Yang Xiong's detailed information, he couldn't help laughing, it turned out that this person was from Nanjing, his family lived in the east of the city, but not far from the palace, Zhu Jun said to Xiao Guizi: "Where is Yongxing Lane?" ”

Xiao Guizi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Back to the emperor, it is near Gusu Avenue in the east of the city." ”

Zhu Jun closed his eyes: "Set up the car, and let the cabinet draw up an edict to enshrine this person's lord, and I want to go to Yongxing Lane to see, the soldiers are working hard in front, how can Lian sit on the palace wall and visit his family."

"Yes. Xiao Guizi knew that the emperor's temperament was a little anxious, so he didn't dare to delay, so he went inside immediately

Finish. ，

Yongxing Lane belongs to the old town of Nanjing, which has been expanding since the population of Nanjing increased. The old town is a bit dilapidated compared to the new ones. The south of the city is connected to the open area, which is the commercial center of Nanjing, and the north of the city is connected to the imperial palace, which is naturally the residence of dignitaries or big businessmen, and the west of the city picks up the station, which is naturally the logistics and trade center.

In Yongxing Lane, the three- or four-story cement houses or the dilapidated brick houses are scattered at will, and even the cement roads built by the imperial court a few years ago look very dilapidated. Horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts walked leisurely through the streets. More are ordinary people who walk on their legs, and this is the time to go to work, otherwise once they get off work, I am afraid that there are not many people on this street, and the two sides are full of vendors with stalls. At this time of year, there was not much business, so there was no shouting one after another, and the vendors were all clever masters, and they were full of alarm to everyone in public uniform, and at the first sign of warning, they immediately swept away and hid in the alleys. This is naturally because of the decree under the Yamen of the Heavenly Palace, requiring all vendors to register with the government to release documents before they can place stalls, once registered, they will naturally have to pay some taxes, and the vendors have a meager income, so they are naturally unwilling to pay these taxes, especially the vendors in the east of the city, the people here are not very rich, the business is not good, and tax evasion is naturally due.

The government is also very troubled by the street vendors in the east of the city, in fact, the street vendors are not registered to care about the little tax, but only to regulate the market, and the street vendors often block the streets in order to make a living, and even worse, because of excessive mobility. Some unscrupulous vendors are mixed in, specializing in selling some inferior goods, there is nothing in the ordinary things, but the snacks in those street wells are the most harmful, in the past few years, the children who have eaten a bad stomach and have no time to treat it have passed the triple digits, if they are not registered, once something happens, the hawkers can immediately escape, and they can't even find it, some black-hearted vendors are also relying on this reason, so they have no fear, so Shuntianfu let the public come to search every three forks, but these small vendors are such clever people, the public has not arrived, and disappeared.

"The public is coming" There was a sudden noise of drums on the street, and those alert vendors were disadvantaged. Immediately pricked up his ears, and then the vendors along the street rolled up the cloth and rolled up the miscellaneous goods from the stall into a large baggage, and then fled into the empty space of the house.

In this way, there are pushes and bumps, and there are crowds. After a gust of wind, the vendors disappeared, but the street was a mess.

Then, a group of soldiers with bright flags and armor lined up into the alley, and then the car with a bright yellow cloth curtain, the cloth curtain in the car was opened, and Zhu Jun poked his head out and saw such a scene. couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, ordered to stop, and then stepped out of the carriage and looked at the street, where are there still people on this street, the ground is a mess, there are fallen fruits, scattered rock sugar gourds, and wooden toys, Zhu Jun looked back at a close attendant behind him: "What's going on?."

"Back to the emperor, I'm afraid this is scattered by the vendors." The attendant told Zhu Jun the cause and effect of the matter, and the anger on Zhu Jun's face was even stronger: "It is not easy for the people to make a living, and if Shuntianfu does this, won't it take away the people's livelihood?" This decree was issued by the Cabinet? Summoned Shuntian Fuyi, and Lian wanted to ask him, how could he bear to persecute the people like this?

"Yes." Seeing that Zhu Junlongyan was furious, the attendant didn't dare to delay, sang a promise, and immediately took a guard's horse and flew away.

Zhu Jun put his hands behind his back, there was still anger on his face, and Sigongxin was too much of this person. Eyea is the emperor's chariot. They all got excited and worshipped. Zhu Jun could only squeeze out some smiles, and it was not easy to pass, so he ordered someone to go over and ask for the address of Yang Xiong's house, and asked people to give some rewards.

However, it was said that Wu Tingsong, the Fengtianfu Mansion, heard the emperor's summons, and immediately put down his official duties and did not take the carriage. Instead, he rode a horse with the attendant and came quickly, he was up and down in his heart, only to see that the attendant did not give him a good look, presumably there would be no good thing, but what was wrong with this Nanjing City, so that the emperor hurriedly summoned himself to the past?

He was the first time the new emperor opened the branch to take the scholar, first in the port of Haidu for three years as a small official, and then because of the evaluation of the superior transferred to Songjiang County to govern for one year, promoted to Gao'an County Cheng. Later, he was the Nanchang Mansion Xuezheng, two years ago. Transferred to Nanjing, as the chief official of Fengtianfu, and recently promoted to Shuntianfu Fuyi, this from a small official to the foot of the Son of Heaven, it took only a short ten years, if it were not for his outstanding political achievements, I am afraid it would never be possible.

Fast horses galloped to come, at this time it was the time to go to work, there were not many pedestrians on the street, it only took two quarters of an hour, Wu Tingsong saw the emperor's car, he dismounted from a distance, trotted over, at a glance saw the emperor with his hands behind his back and chatting with a few old ladies sitting at home, most of the residents of this Dongcheng District are working in the factories in the suburbs, yes, as soon as the time to go to work, people will go to hang up. In addition to some old people who take care of housework, there are some daughters-in-law who abide by etiquette, and the daughter-in-law is naturally not easy to come out when she sees a group of officers and soldiers coming up on the street, but some old ladies and idle old men are excited to come out to see the driver, Wu Tingsong saw the emperor chatting with people, so he didn't dare to disturb, and stood far away to accompany him.

Zhu Jun happened to see him, Shuntian Mansion Yi is naturally easy to recognize, it can be seen from this official uniform alone, Zhu Jun turned around and said in a cold tone: "You are Shuntian Mansion's Mansion Yi?" What is your name?.

"Back to the emperor, the minister is Shuntian Fuyi. The surname Wu beater is named Tingsong, the word .

"Alright". Zhu Jun waved his hand impatiently. He didn't want to continue to talk to his nephew. Directly inserted into the main topic: "Is this matter of dispersing the vendors a decree of the cabinet system, or is it your own proposition?" ”

"It turned out to be for the vendors." When he thinks of the street vendors in Dongcheng, Wu Tingsong has a headache. Now that he didn't expect to make trouble with the emperor, he had to deal with it carefully: "Back to the emperor, it was the law approved by the cabinet, and Weichen just acted according to the law." ”

"You've pushed it clean.

。 There was a faint anger in Zhu Jun's eyes: "Where are you from?" What did your father and grandfather do?

A cold sweat broke out on Wu Tingsong's forehead, and he hurriedly said: "Weichen is a native of Dali, Yunnan, and his father and ancestors are farmers. Ploughing and reading heirlooms

"What a cultivator." Zhu Jun sneered: "The people make a living on their own, what's in the way of you?" Do you have to kill them all? Were not your fathers and fathers also a people, and hast thou forgotten thy roots?

Wu Tingsong was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed down: "The emperor's words are punishable, Weichen does not dare to accept it, although this vendor is the people to make a living, but there is no rule of law, it is uneven, among them there are black-hearted people in order to make profits, often shoddy, and even more, there are snack vendors along the street in order to save costs, often with inedible ingredients to add, the year before, Shuntianfu received more than 20 cases of death and injury due to eating bad stomachs, and went to get people, but the hawker was originally wandering around, where to find it, it was a decree issued by the cabinet, Regulate street vendors and order them to register with the government. The government assigned them a stall and registered their names, if so, then even if the hawkers sold harmful food, they could also be held accountable, so that such accidents could be eradicated, but the vendors in Dongcheng were afraid of paying taxes to the imperial court, and no one went to register on their own, so Weichen had no choice but to send a messenger into the streets and alleys to sweep the stalls.

Zhu Jun couldn't help but be stunned, due to the influence of his previous life. For this kind of thing, his position has always been on the side of the street vendors, but after listening to Wu Tingsong's explanation, he also felt that Wu Tingsong had some truth, and vaguely remembered that a classmate in elementary school in his previous life ate hot and sour radish shreds on the street. Poisoned to death, I heard that the person responsible has not been found for several years, his eyebrows soothed a little: "The hawkers have meager profits, and the property they earn is not much, and they naturally will not be willing to pay taxes when they register, so let's exempt the vendors from taxes, as long as they are willing to register, they can." ”

Wu Tingsong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty." No, there's nothing wrong with vendors making small profits. But once the emperor exempts the tax due, wouldn't it be unfair to those merchants who shop? Those who open shops are subject to annual taxes. If you want to rent a shop, and the thug only needs to sell it for one or two dollars to make a profit, and in the past, all the business of the shop is robbed by the peddlers, so should the merchants of the shops also go and set up stalls? At that time, I am afraid that there will be no more shops in Nanjing City, and the streets will be full of vendors, where will the taxes of the imperial court come from? Where does the money come from for the railways, roads, and bridges that are built at great expense every year? There are pros and cons to everything, and the emperor may benefit the vendors, but what should those small businessmen who have accumulated some family wealth and rent their shops and still count on supporting their families?

Zhu Jun frowned: "Is there no way?" You are Shuntian Fuyi, and you know this kind of thing best, so you come to Lenovo Jin, two

Thinking of this problem, Zhu Jun really felt that some tricky hawkers had the harm of hawkers, but they had their own bitterness, and if they took care of this, they would lose the other, and they really couldn't have both.

"There's no way." Wu Tingsong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But Weichen thinks that what the imperial court should do is to continue to promote the prosperity of commerce and trade, and in the future, there will be more and more factories in my Ming Dynasty, and the salary will gradually increase." I'm afraid these hawkers won't be willing to avoid the inspection rather than go to work in the factory. ”

Zhu Jun nodded thoughtfully: "The root is fundamental, the Federation can't wait a few years for a few years." You still have to find a way to cure the symptoms, and give you an errand, and in addition to your official duties, go to this eastern city more often, and don't scare the vendors, talk to them, and then go to the cabinet to discuss with the scholars and find a way to write a charter. Show it to Lian, if it is done, you will be counted as a great achievement, understand? ”

Wei Chen obeyed the order, and the stone in Wu Tingsong's heart was finally put down.

"You go back to your business, and. Recently, if you send a few tolerances, you will be regarded as the imperial court, well, turn a blind eye. Zhu Jun squeezed out a smile in embarrassment.

Weichen understood that Wu Tingsong had just gone.

In a courtyard in Yongxing Lane, an old man was lying under a pear tree in the yard enjoying the shade. The old man squinted his eyes, holding the teapot, and did not enter the teacup, but directly pointed the spout to the mouth. It's quite comfortable to be alone. At this time, a neighbor patted the courtyard door outside and shouted: "Lao Yang, Lao Yang, something happened"

Lao Yang put down the teapot and went to open the courtyard door angrily: "What are you doing in a daze?" To die? ”

"Oh no." The neighbor gasped angrily: "There is a team of soldiers inquiring about Yang Xiong's baby, I see that the posture is wrong, so I came to report to you." ”

Lao Yang's eyes widened: "What trouble did Yang Xiong's dead baby get into again?" ”

For Yang Xiong's son, Lao Yang Ke will never think about him well, he has been a troublemaker since he was a child, and later he came to Wutang to recruit people. Lao Yang saw that he liked to dance with knives and guns, and it was not a way to stay at home and stir up trouble, so he asked him to register, who knew that the assessment had really passed, Lao Yang finally put his mind at ease, but he didn't think about it, now someone came to the door, needless to say, according to Lao Yang's understanding of Yang Xiong, a little bastard. I'm afraid that these eighty percent are causing trouble in the army, such as letting people find their families.

The neighbor also watched Yang Xiong grow up. Seeing that a soldier asked about Yang Xiong's residence, he thought that Yang Xiong had committed a crime, and immediately came over to report: "Old Yang, I have heard that this military law is the most ruthless, and it has nothing to do with causing trouble at home, but in the army, it is not allowed to cut off the head." ”

Lao Yang was furious when he heard this, and his heart said that he shrugged my son, and then passed out straight. The neighbor immediately held Lao Yang up: "Lao Yang" Lao Yang

At this time, a soldier came over and asked, "Is this Yang Xiong's house?" ”

"Ah" The neighbor didn't know how to deal with it for a while and shook his head: "No" At this time, he was afraid that he would be held accountable for his lie, so he nodded hurriedly: "Wrong, wrong, this is Yang Xiong's family, this is Yang Xiong's father, the military master." What are you looking for Yang Xiongke? ”

"Found it, this is Yang Xiong's home." The soldier ignored the neighbor and yelled outside.

In an instant, countless soldiers came one after another. Lao Yang, who had just woken up, watched so many soldiers with bright flags and armor pouring into the courtyard, and said in his heart: "How much trouble does Yang Xiong's dead baby have to make to have such a big movement." ”

"Congratulations to Master Yang, congratulations to Master Yang. Your son Yang Xiong has made great contributions, and the emperor has specially rewarded him. The emperor himself came to issue the edict, you hurry up and prepare, ready to welcome a soldier and please.

"Huh?" Lao Yang was stunned for a while, first with great sorrow. Then there was a period of confusion, as if in a dream, and the smiling faces of the people next to him were not real, and finally after he confirmed that it was not a dream. Cai Daxi said: "Yes, I want to welcome the car and go." Are you looking for an incense case, ah, I almost forgot, I want to give happy money, yes, give happy money. He immediately returned to the house, took out a large string of money, and distributed it to the soldiers in the courtyard, but there were too many people, and where was the money enough, so he had to say to the neighbor: "Erhei, you, borrow some silver, quickly, the more the better, by the way, there is also the incense case, Aunt Wang's family should have it, ah."

"No need, no need." The soldiers looked at the few copper plates that Lao Yang came down, weighed them for a while, and couldn't help but say in their hearts that this old man is really shabby, these are only a few copper plates, I don't know if I have three or four taels of silver a month when I am a soldier? ”，

Jiangxi's network doesn't know what's wrong, can't open, depressed, first cut off the network for an afternoon, and then can't open the web page, hey!
